Portland’s Glitterfox share the anthemic, heart-wrenching new single about extreme loss and finding ways to stay connected – “Take Me Back.”
Andrea Walker shares, “I wrote this song on the ten year anniversary of my mother’s passing. To me the verses reflect the impact of grief, how it saps our vitality like a slow and imperceivable leak. Once vivid colors feel drained and there’s the all-encompassing realization that life will never be the same. It’s a song about wanting to go back. About wanting to hold that person one last time, and tell them that you love them. I feel like songs come from another realm a lot of times. So maybe if songs are coming to me from somewhere else, I can write this song and send it to my mom. Wherever she is.”
Glitterfox will release their debut full-length album decoder, August 22 on Jealous Butcher Records.
The band is helmed by effervescent frontperson Solange Igoa (they/them) and guitarist Andrea Walker (they/them) who, before recently splitting up amicably, were a couple for 12 years, six of them married. However, their musical connection is so profound that it has remained unaffected. decoder is a jubilant explosion of tracks that synthesizes the two songwriters’ garage rock, new wave, southern Americana and dance music influences.
Glitterfox formed in Long Beach, CA back in 2012 and have released a handful of acclaimed singles & EPs under their belt, several on Kill Rock Stars. Along the way, they relocated to their current hometown of Portland, Oregon, where they met Chris Funk (of The Decemberists) who is now their manager and producer. Hailed for their effervescent live show, the band launched Portland’s indie-music festival Glitterfest in 2019 (which doubled as their wedding reception).
